The Sun moves into Taurus tropically on Saturday, April 19. For the next solar month the focus will be on beauty, pleasure, and growth. Taurus delights in flowers, perfumes, jewels, music, and wealth. Plant flowers and vegetables, and water your garden. Tend to your finances and help your money grow.

All planets are in direct motion until Pluto turns retrograde May 4 which is good for moving forward in your work and life.

Easter Sunday, April 20, is a tense, explosive day. The Moon conjuncts Pluto, opposes the Moon and squares the Sun, forming a tense T-square. Be careful, and navigate the tension mindfully. This strong aspect is good for working on a demanding work project, though that is probably not what you will be doing Easter Sunday. However, you could channel this strong energy into making a stunning Easter dinner or going on a vigorous hike. The Sun-Pluto square is exact on Wednesday, April 22. The Mars-Pluto opposition is exact on Friday and Saturday, April 24-25. The entire week ahead holds a lot of tension, conflict, and aggression.

Venus, Saturn, and the North Node are conjunct. Venus wants to move toward pleasure, prosperity, and love. Saturn gives restraint and demands responsibility and hard work. The stock market volatility now is exemplary of this combined energy.  By the end of April Venus will move ahead of Saturn and will enter Aries on April 30, and then the restricting constraints will ease. Meanwhile, lean in and work hard and be judicious and frugal with your time and money.

The New Moon occurs on Sunday, April 26, at 7:46 Taurus. The New Moon hooks into the Mars-Sun-Pluto T-square.

Neptune entered Aries on Sunday, March 30th for a 14-year stay in the first sign the zodiac, except when it retrogrades back into Pisces October 22, 2025-January 27, 2026.

Saturn is sextile Uranus. This Saturn-Uranus sextile will be at play within 1-3 degrees through February 2026. This would be an excellent time to break bad habits and establish good habits. It is a time for breakthrough and building something new.

Moon Void of Course: This is the time when the Moon makes its last major angular aspect with a planet before it moves into the next zodiacal sign tropically. This void time, when the Moon is not aspecting a planet, but rather floating on its own, is a time when things don’t come together and it is difficult to make good decisions. Purchases made during void Moons often turn out to be unsatisfactory and not work out. Appointments often don’t come together, and meetings don’t result in progress or sound, lasting decisions. We more easily get lost or meander in trying to get somewhere. The VoC Moon times for the next month are listed below so that you can plan meetings, decisions, and purchases at times when the Moon is not VoC; and use the void times for gardening, reading, and routine task work.
